  • Complete unsafe operation. This type of tree would have been done in pieces by pro.

  • @highcountrytimber do you never fell a tree whole then

  • hi the only safety gear i did not have on was my helmet and ear muffs this is cuz i like to hear when the tree starts cracking so gives me lots of time to steer the tree down. With regards to lines no rope would change the direction of an 8 ton tree by much as long as you look a the trees structure working out where the weight is, the lean and any defects within the trunk you can apply your cuts accordingly. leaving the hinge larger on the side with the least amount of weight. hope this helps

  • This tree was not felled onto any grave stones or graves. We had a 6ft gap from the grave stones to the road edge and the canopy landed in an area which had not been used for graves so was open space otherwise the tree would of been taken down sectionally or by using a crane.

  • Right you arseholes, A true proffesional fells trees, a poncey climber does not. There is nothing dangerous about felling a tree. There are more accidents poncing about in a tree thinking you are the worlds best at everything than felling a tree. And yes i am a climber and have been for 15 years. I came from forestry and look to fell a tree before i think about climbing it.

  • pew right in the kisser

  • Yes, this looked a bit dangerous, good thing it was close to the cemetery if anything went wrong.

  • A REAL TREE PROFESSIONAL WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO CLIMB AND DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY FROM THE BEGINNING. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CHIPPER AND A CHIPPER TRUCK AND SOME CAIN SAWS THAT DON'T MAKE YOU UNPROFESSIONAL'S. THAT ONLY MAKES YOU GUYS DANGEROUS NOTHING ELSE. DON'T BE SO LAZY AND GET YOUR FAT ASSES UP IN THE TREES AND DO THE JOB RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING.

  • @highcountrytimber and why is that, so they can charge more money for just cutting one tree down? ha ha some guys have to go out and fall trees like this all day long in 1 piece to make a living and your think they are not pros, you sir sound like a tree trimmer! ha ha

  • i just wasted 1:18 seconds of my life

  • i dont know a single thing about cutting trees. but the way this was done looked stupid. no safety gear and cutting it all down at once? shouldnt a tree of that size and in an area like that be cut in pieces?

  • NOT IMPRESSED, NO SAFETY GEAR, ACCIDENT LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HAPPEN....GO BACK TO FLIIPPING BURGERS.....

  • perfect job, good to see someone who knows what they're doing!
